Sir!
This is Dr. Rajiv Ranjan ,Gaya ,Bihar,India answering your health query.
The sudden occurrence of a lump on the outside of your leg can be an abscess if it is warm,red and hurts to touch and/or you've swinging fever.You should first try antibiotics like ciprofloxacin and analgesic like Aceclofenac along with an antacid after consulting a local doctor. I n D (surgical drainage)may be needed.
Other kind of lump is a remote possibility.
It is not at all related to sciatica.
